Synopsis

Whether the reader is an amateur insect enthusiast, a student or an entomologist, this completely revised new Fifth Edition of A Field Guide to Insects in Australia offers essential information to help identify insects from all the major groups. With more photographs, species and up-to-date information, the book will enable the read- er to differentiate between a dragonfly and a damselfly or a cricket and a grasshopper. It covers cockroaches, termites, praying mantises, beetles, cicadas, moths, butterflies, ants, bees and many more. More than 350 pages and 750 color photographs show the insects in their natural habitats, while over 50 line drawings clearly illustrate the key features and differences when identification is tricky.
